My general rule of thumb is that if the image communicates important information it gets an img tag (with alt attribute) and if the image does not communicate important information it becomes a background image. So if you have "content images" that contain important information I'm not sure why you'd want to put other text on them since unlike DVD burners people aren't good at dual-layers. However, you know your design and I don't so if you really do want text on top of an image and background isn't appropriate, then I'd put them both in a container and set the container's position: relative and then you can absolutely position either the text of the image or both. This doesn't have anything to do with blueprint. The same advice applies regardless of your framework or lack thereof. -- Matthew Nuzum newz2000 on freenode --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Blueprint CSS" group.
